In Corrogue I am coming to my senses. Getting Back to the Basics of Truth
by Lois Grant-Holland
Anyone who has invested time, energy and effort into finding their own truth knows that ignorance is NOT bliss. Understanding the religious environment that we grew up in should be the natural first step towards defining our own belief system. All too often, we grow up getting bits and pieces of religion, but never take the time to look at the bigger picture... Its Not What You Know, Its What You Do
by Lois Grant-Holland
Knowing what is right and what is wrong in your own inner consciousness is insufficient. It is not the knowing of truth that transforms a person; it is the doing of truth that has an impact on you and on the other people that you interact with... Law to the Nth Degree
by Lois Grant-Holland
Most of us know that the universe - God's universe - operates on an independent structure called Universal Law. The laws of the universe - God's laws - are an invisible influence that gently force the natural order under which the universe operates to be maintained. We can't fully understand 'karma' without understanding how it works, and why it works that way, and how the way it works affects our lives on a daily basis - without first understanding the laws that support it... Life Dont Work That Way
by Lois Grant-Holland
It would be nice if the planet - like so many other things in modern day life - came with a guarantee. "If, for any reason, this planet fails to yield the resources required for, or the environment conducive to, the continuation of the species commonly referred to as homo sapiens, God agrees to replace this planet at no cost to the inhabitants at any time within one eternity at no cost to the inhabitants themselves..." Living Outside the Lines of Normal and Reasonable
by Elizabeth Tull
A client of mine told me of a post recently by a woman who feels professional coaching is teaching “New Age” philosophy and that we promote thinking outside-the-box. She feels that way of thinking is not an encouraging idea to promote because it is unrealistic and a waste of time for people who want to live successfully in today’s society. I had to laugh. She posted on a 12 Step chat room! Where would she have posted if Bill Wilson, Dr. Bob and Microsoft had NOT thought outside the box? Look! Its Another New Age!
by Lois Grant-Holland
There's nothing new about "the new age" except the attitude of the souls participating in it. I bet every soul who chose to incarnate into this particular historical era shook their little energy heads and said, "Oh, no! Not again!" Looking Back With A Pained Expression
by Lois Grant-Holland
Anyone who tells you that the path to self-actualization is an easy one has never walked it. Along the way, we meet - head on! - the skeletons in our personal closets, and the process of coming to terms with our past and al that it brought into our lives is a long and solitary one. It's such a dark and lonely space that many people give up the journey, deciding that the "present moment self" - as imperfect as it may be! - will just have to suffice in this lifetime... Making Our Self Real
by Lois Grant-Holland
"Self-Actualization" is the process of making our self "actual." Our "real self" is our inner being, and it is only when we have integrated our inner truth into our external personality that we can - actually - express who we are and what we believe in so consistently that it becomes our "visible truth." The growth process through which this integration of inner truth with outer expression takes place is called "self-actualization," and - like every other learning cycle in God's universe - it is governed by Universal Law... Perception Is Reality
by Lois Grant-Holland
God always gives us what we expect. Sometimes it's unfortunate that He never checks twice to make certain that it's what we really want, or what's really best for us. His love is unconditional, and there are no conditions to His well-known promise, "Ask and you shall be given." So - God always gives us what we expect... Questioning - Is It A Natural Process?
by Lois Grant-Holland
One of the first issues people on the spiritual path have to address is a doctrinal one: Is it wrong to question? Is asking questions about the truth we've been taught "sinful?" Your answer may have a dramatic effect on your ability to explore without guilt! Seeing the Big Picture
by Lois Grant-Holland
Sometimes, in traveling a path, we discover a short-cut, and we reach our destination in less time—and with less effort than we thought, when we began the journey, would be required of us. On the path to self-awareness, however, there are no short-cuts. Personal growth awareness of the person we are in every present moment-is an ongoing lifetime process. The end of one learning cycle is always the beginning of the next... Snowflakes
by Lois Grant-Holland
The human race had their beginning, and I had mine – in this lifetime, anyway. Stepping Into the Darkness
by Lois Grant-Holland
One of the "loopholes" in my philosophical belief system when I was younger (and at this point in my life, that means "almost middle-aged"! ) was whether or not there was an evil force in the universe equal to God who served as man's adversary. He was the original "bad guy," and the human race seemed to be caught between these two invisible forces - one of good and one of evil. People, as the pawns in this universal power play, followed either Jesus or Satan. The Best Laid Plans
by Lois Grant-Holland
We all know that the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry, so we shouldn't be surprised when the best laid lifeplans go awry, too. The Breath of Life
by Lois Grant-Holland
The earth is wrapped in a thin, loose shell of gases - which we call the atmosphere. The mix of gases that make up the atmosphere has changed greatly over the eons... The Solitary Journey
by Lois Grant-Holland
Self-actualization can - literally - be translated to mean "making the self actual." It means there is no longer any difference between what you think and what you do. There is no longer any contradiction between what you tell others to do - how you tell others they should be - and how you respond yourself. It is, quite simply, manifesting (or making real) who you are and what you believe in on a day-by-day, consistent basis... The Tess Syndrome
by Lois Grant-Holland
There's a lot of talk about angels these days. They're getting some pretty good press... Two Halves Dont Always Make A Whole
by Lois Grant-Holland
I waited all my life for my soul mate. I always knew, somewhere deep down inside myself, that the perfect mate was out there somewhere, waiting for me just like I was waiting for him. His absence had been noticeable for as long as I could remember; it was always as though a part of me was missing... What Goes Around, Comes Around
by Lois Grant-Holland
We've all heard "What Goes Around, Comes Around," and we all know that it means "Watch out now - karma's gonna get you!" We see one person doing something not-so-nice to another person, and we think to ourselves, "I'm glad that's not MY karma." Someone says or does something to hurt our feelings, and we want to respond in kind, but before we have a chance to lash out, we stop and ponder, "Is it worth the karma?" |
